It would appear that I've been lacking in motivation to keep my blog up to date and I'm still not sure why that is. Hopefully I'll get back into high gear again one day, but for now it sure looks like I'm more excited about watching movies than I am about writing about them.
Which is too bad, because I've been watching a lot of really great movies lately. I'm particularly excited about the James Bond films. I picked up the James Bond Ultimate Edition Volumes 1 through 4 and have been watching the films in chronological order. I realized that I actually haven't seen most of the early films. I can certainly see why so many people agree that Sean Connery is the only "real" Bond. However, I grew up watching Roger Moore so it will be interesting to go back and re-watch those again. A good friend of mine and I are actually planning the James Bond Obscene-a-thon for sometime in the summer. That's right, all 20 James Bond films in a single weekend. I can't wait!
I recently hosted a Star Trek Ridiculathan which was enjoyed by myself, Vince and Chris. I was a little disappointed in the video quality of Generations but that's probably only because I'm a movie-snob. I would seek professional help but it would really cut into my movie-watching time.
The Oscars are on Sunday and I've actually managed to watch a few of the Best Picture nominees. The Departed and Little Miss Sunshine were both excellent. I really hope Martin Scorcese finally wins a well-deserved Oscar for his work. It's hard to believe that such an iconic filmmaker has never won a single Oscar. Babel also came out on DVD this week and I look forward to finally seeing it.
Well, that's all for now. I would still love to hear from anyone who has some thoughts on why blogging can become such a drudgery, or better yet, some suggestions on how to make it more enjoyable and regular. I'd love to have an up-to-date blog with many readers; how do I do that?
Anyway, thanks for stopping by. Give me a call if you want to watch a flick together. It's truly one of my favourite things.
